NomadTracks for hiking & trekking

The hiking tracker that carries your paper maps

Hiking is where NomadTracks was born: precise tracks with honest elevation data, points of interest for springs and viewpoints, and the signature trick — your trail map, hut sketch or national-park handout georeferenced as a live overlay with your position on it.

Phone in the pocket, watch on the wrist, or both: recording runs all day, offline, with live stats on the Lock Screen.

Elevation you can trust

Accurate gain and loss plus full elevation, speed and pace charts for every hike — drag across the chart to relive any kilometer.

The hut map, alive

Photograph the trail map at the trailhead, set four control points, and navigate the rest of the day on the official map with a live blue dot.

Summit-day endurance

Records all day on one charge, completely offline. Live Activities keep distance and altitude on the Lock Screen — no unlocking with gloves.

Questions

FAQ

Does the hiking tracker work without mobile signal?

Yes, completely. GPS needs no network, and custom maps are stored on the device — deep-wilderness navigation is exactly what NomadTracks is built for.

Can I see elevation gain during the hike?

Yes — live altitude and climb stats are on the recording screen, the Lock Screen and the Apple Watch while you walk.

Can I use the official park or alpine-club map?

Yes. Import it as a PDF/GeoPDF or photograph the paper map, georeference it with a few control points, and hike on the official cartography with your live position.
